The best restaurants in Athlone

19/07/2025: I got a delivery and the nann bread was burnt on one side also keeman nann was burnt to bits , also got onion bhaji that was dry and could not be eating, this place used to be lovley and i would defently not eat here again ,it was a waste of money

17/07/2025: This was by far the nicest Indian food I’ve had. We ate here twice during our short stay in Athlone. Service was very good too.

04/07/2025: Jaime, you were amazing! Thank you for being so kind. Your breakfast recommendations were so helpful. The food and the coffee were amazing. Such a pleasant meal.

04/07/2025: Came here looking for breakfast on a trip through Athlone. We managed to make it in the nick of time before they ended breakfast service and we weren’t sure if they would let us order. Jaime was SO kind and took our order, answering questions and giving us recommendations. Our food came out very quickly and coffee was included with our breakfasts. Wish we would’ve taken a photo of our food, but we ate too fast!! Jaime checked on us throughout the meal and was so lovely. 5/5 for friendly service and yummy food. I would highly recommend!!

14/07/2025: Brilliant. Lovely pleasant and helpful staff.

13/07/2025: Absolute disgrace of a McDonald’s they had no beef products in the whole store

23/07/2025: We tried the Spicy Cajun Melt here (two of them!) and really enjoyed it. The sandwich was flavorful, filling, and the ranch dip on the side was delicious. The only thing I’m unsure about is the bread — it tasted good but felt a bit too thick. A slightly thinner and wider slice might suit the filling better. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely come back again!

16/02/2025: I was wrong, I had selected another city on the click and collect, they managed to make my order for me without having to pay me again. The place is clean and super classy. The lovely staff. And then the food was excellent, the pulled pork excellent and the pistachio cookie I recommend 10000x

15/06/2025: (Traducido por Google) La mejor comida asiática en Athlone. (Original) Best Asian food in Athlone.

14/06/2025: Delicious fresh meals , only thing I'd fix is the AC it can get a bit stuffy inside , overall amazing place for lunch/ dinner, highly recommend.

17/06/2025: Hi there I have seen your question regarding The Venue and I just wanted to say that I have attended the concert of "The year that grunge broke " previously at the Venue in Athlone town . I attended the concert with friends on the night and the concert lasted two hours.

13/01/2025: Brilliant spot to socialize here

25/07/2025: Fab place for a night out. The only negative is the music on 3rd floor, my understanding is that it's supposed to be club music, most nights it's some sort of generic early 2000 stuff, would love a DJ who knows what good club music is.

08/07/2025: very horrible bouncers and workers. extremely rude , seemed to just live off power. also a friend wasn’t allowed in because an unseen disability. one of my friends wasn’t allowed in because she was a girl and they didn’t believe a passport in date was a valid id 😂

07/05/2025: Excellent food in an authentic restaurant with friendly and accommodating staff.

02/05/2025: Excellent Italian cooking by a chef who seems to do everything alone and without even breaking a sweat. Gorgeous, perfectly cooked pasta dishes and delicious starters too.

20/07/2025: The best Szechuan I’ve ever had. Service is always impeccable and friendly have never been disappointed :)

01/07/2025: Lovely food. It was plenty so we took it home and had a lovely lunch next day

09/06/2025: Food is nice have had few sandwiches and always happy. Staff don’t ever seem happy no real athmosphere. Busy at lunchtime hard to get a seat sometimes.

11/02/2025: Very friendly people Nice coffee

28/01/2025: Wonderful hotel with AMAZING staff. A group of us had a wonderful stay in The Price of Wales to celebrate mid-term and meeting up after covid. We had a beautiful lunch with wonderful service from an amazing lady, we had such much fun and laughs over lunch. Later, we had a beautiful evening meal in the bar followed by cocktails. The young man working the night shift warmly welcomed us back after a few hours hanging out in the local bars. He was so friendly and helpful despite the late hour. Rooms were spotlessly clean. The shower and coffee machine were both brand new. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a central location,free parking, amazing staff. We will return. Thank you all Monica & Co

22/12/2024: We went to the Prince of Wales Hotel in downtown Niagara-On-The-Lake specifically for High Tea. We have been to many high teas in different towns and cities. The one here has to be the absolute worst!!!The smoked salmon sandwiches (not a traditional high tea sandwich) were served on stale white bread!! Actually, all the breads were not fresh, including the egg-filled croissants. The scones were dry and tasteless. I discovered a dark hair in mine so I sent it back. Apologies were given but it didn't reflect any changes to our bill, which was $55/per person. When my niece made the reservation she said that 2 of us were celebrating our birthdays. Birthday wishes were not mentioned by the server. Nothing. Shame on Prince of Wales Hotel for serving inferior high tea at a very high price.

30/07/2025: Great late bar for hen parties! Great music , lovley cocktails and very friendly staff! Definitely recommend 👏

24/06/2025: Nice private outdoor seating ranging from tables of 4/6 to table of 2. Myself and my partner got a nice little table for 2 outdoors. It was lovely and intimate as we were facing each other. It was a beautiful evening. Nice quiet atmosphere. Cocktails were fantastic. The staff are amazing at their job. The manager an absolute gentleman. Customer service 10/10. Great deal on the ‘cocktail tree’ for €45 where you get 6 cocktails from a designated cocktail menu. Individual cocktail price is €9, so it’s worth it. We really enjoyed our evening and would 100% recommend.

13/05/2025: Amazing food with amazing staff

25/03/2025: Good food, love the chicken, burger is superb

10/06/2025: One of the best Burger Kings in Ireland, in my opinion! The service is fast, and the food is always fresh and hot. The restaurant is generally clean—though it can vary depending on the time of day and how busy it is. Staff are friendly and helpful, making the experience even better.

05/06/2025: The nuggets were woeful but ur wan at the counter was a bit of buzz

10/01/2025: Ordered a kebab meal, meat was cold, chips were cold, curry dip was cold. Would never consume again.

10/01/2025: The business was closed for three days last month. Weak pest control, open pipes and rat droppings led to a Westmeath take away being served a closure order last month. Take Away Express on Northgate Street in Athlone was issued the order on December 13th under the FSAI Act 1998, which was lifted three days later on the 16th. It was one of six food businesses across the country that was served a closure order by The Food Safety Authority of Ireland last month. The FSAI served 133 enforcement orders on food businesses in 2024, an increase of 45% from the 92 orders issued in 2023.
